Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Restricted User Activity
There are a few ways of resolving this scenario: Disable plugin: From the web server file system, if you rename the plugin to something like 'restricted-user-activity_off' WordPress won't recognize the plugin as being installed and won't run the plugin. Remove variable: If you remove or comment out the 'RESTRICTED_USER_ACTIVITY_ADMIN_ALLOW_LIST' constant from wp-config.php you will be able to log in. Add your user id: If you know your user id, you can add it to the 'RESTRICTED_USER_ACTIVITY_ADMIN_ALLOW_LIST' constant in wp-config.php Ask another admin: You can ask another verified admin to disable the plugin
This plugin does require manual management of user id list in wp-config.php. It also requires some basic technical knowledge on how to modify the wp-config.php file. However, most websites only have a few admins and new admins are created infrequently. The extra management involved to provide additional security here will be minimally inconvenient in almost all cases.
No, this just provides an extra step for verification. User ids of non existent users, or non admins will have no effect on the functionality.
It is intended that users of this plugin has an appropriate level of technical knowledge, or works with someone (a web agency, freelancer, or internal IT department) that has this. An admin page which would allow non technical users to manage the list could create situations where they lock themselves or other admins out of the website. In order for the plugin to function it requires the technical ability and knowledge to modify the wp-config.php file in the first place (just an additional single line is needed).
On the user list (/wp-admin/users.php) in the admin, you will see a new column in the user table indicating each user's id.
The admin notice will appear until it detects the 'RESTRICTED_USER_ACTIVITY_ADMIN_ALLOW_LIST' constant has been defined in the wp-config.php file with proper values. If you are not interested or unable to set up Restricted User Activity, you can deactivate the plugin and the admin notices will disappear
Refer to documentation or support from your website hosting company to learn how this works.
define( 'RESTRICTED_USER_ACTIVITY_ADMIN_ALLOW_LIST', array( 5, 1, 13 ) );. You will replace the array of admin user ids with the ids appropriate for your website.
